Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony have twin beefs with a baby carriage company.

The couple sued buggy maker Silver Cross for trademark infringement in federal court today, claiming the British manufacturer unlawfully touted its product line by using a picture of the A-list parents pushing twins Emme and Max in their strollers.

Per the suit filed in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles, Silver Cross has used the photograph online and in ads without the plaintiffs' permission, thereby deceiving the public into "believing that Lopez and Anthony endorse and sponsor" the U.K.-based pram purveyor.

The famous duo are seeking at least $5 million in damages, a permanent injunction against any further use of their names or images in the company's advertising, and any money thay may have been made by using the Lopez-Anthony family as unwitting spokesmodels.
